Picked up first of two nickels boxes of the week looks like key date buff

[dasherhunting]

Well half way through box one and found a 1938-d buffalo plus several pre60s. Last week son pulled a no date buff just ordered nicadate , figured isnt worth anything with no date so nothing to lose but the 38-d looks nice for age and can read date. Still gonna research though up to speed on most coins but early nickles.

Awesome. So far, I've found one buffalo nickel, and it's a 1913-S type one. Talk about beginners luck!

hmm no response maybe its not a key date but is a keeper

1938-D isn't a key date But yes, it is definitely a keeper! If it's in good condition, it's worth about 2-3 dollars. Look for three types of RPM's and about five D over S varieties.

Just wondering my redbook listed it at a couple bucks higher than alot of the rest in all grades, and think only 7 million some mintage

I'd be very happy to find a '38D or Mr. Cheese's '13. I mostly find dateless and '37s and '36s from Philly.
